Maria and Olivia were arguing over a percentage fact. Maria said

that 32% of 89 is the same as 89% of 32, while Olivia said that
"No, they are different". Can you identify who is correct, Maria or
Olivia?

Maria is correct because 0.32 times 89 is 28.48 and 0.89 times 32 is also 28.48, making them equal.
